Temperature Stress Phenotype
Temperature stress phenotypes describe observable plant characteristics that emerge when cannabis cultivars are exposed to non-optimal temperature ranges during growth. These phenotypic expressions—including altered leaf pigmentation, modified leaf structure, and changes in internode spacing—occur as physiological responses to environmental conditions rather than genetic mutations. Breeders studying temperature stress phenotypes document how different genetic backgrounds express resilience or susceptibility to heat and cold exposure. Understanding these adaptive responses helps inform cultivation protocols and informs selection work for environmental stability. Temperature stress phenotypes are distinct from stable genetic traits; the same plant may express different characteristics under different thermal conditions.

Breeders working in diverse climates document temperature stress phenotypes to identify which lineages maintain structural integrity and cannabinoid stability across varying thermal windows. Selection for temperature resilience—both heat and cold tolerance—has become relevant for outdoor and greenhouse breeding programs targeting regional adaptation.
